I have a very serious question for the members on here and I want the truth.

It has become apparent to Bee and I that we are losing members in posting and in interest. We have tried a lot of activities and ways for people to make friends and feel comfortable on the forum with both of us as well as each other. This is obviously not working.

What do we need to be doing differently to make those of you who are already members want to stay? If people give us ideas then we can try to fit it into what we already having going on here but people just not posting/participating and then getting upset because the forum is "boring" isn't going to be a very productive way of any of our time.

This isn't one of those "feel good" posts where people need to start chanting about bringing back the peace and zefron love. That's hokey and odd lol. We need participation though because Bee and I are getting off too easy with little work needing to be done around here.

Being brutally honest:
1- the problem is there is not much Zefron news, which means nothing to talk about.

2- Since the Zanessa thread was closed we have lost members. And I'm not saying it should be re-opened because frankly since the break up that thread became irrelevant. But maybe thats the problem,people were not here for Zac but were here for Zanessa as that was the most active place to discuss them on the web for a time.

You can create all the activities you want but if there is no Zac news you are not going to get a very busy forum, as he is the main reason most people have joined.

I never thought of that....well I did but I guess I had more faith in the people who were members here. That's just really sad.

Unfortunately, this is completely true.

Another simple fact is that people grow and move on. The way I view it, the people who are here WANT to be here. Not that everyone doesn't want to be here, but life demands our attention too much sometimes.

I think the biggest reason it's not as active is because when this was set up, it was the only place for Zac fans to go. Now, there's twitter, tumblr, livejournal, etc, so it's not one big collective place.
